When I had my R11s last year, it was cranked to full loft (so 10.5*), full open, and heavy weight in the toe. I used to murder that thing, but about 20% of the time it was a gigantic block about 15 fairways to the right. My Covert is now much, much, much straighter and just as long.

For anyone gaming the new R1 or the R11 / R11s I was just wondering what your settings were and what shot shape you go for.

I try to go for 'straight' as my shot shape and since I'm a natural slicer, I've got my R1 set to its default 10 degrees, adjusted the sole plate to its most closed position, and left the weights where they were (draw bias; heaviest weight at the heel, lightest at the toe).

Have my R1 currently in testing.....playing at 8.5* with the ASP at 1 click closed. I could barely spin this beast over 2000 rpm and hit a few balls +300 plus. Still not in the bag though, stock Phenom feels like a wet noodle but should be quite playable for most.

R11s 9* stiff. Set to c on the sole plate. Pretty straight flight with tendency to block right, hence the slightly closed face to encourage a draw.
Shape depends on where I hit it on the face most of time. A centre hit is a baby draw or straight.

Getting it this week, can't wait to see if I can duplicate what I was doing on the range. Hitting baby draws averaging 275 yds. My old driver was a TM R11 regular shaft and I was averaging below 245 yds - I know it has more to do with the shaft than the club head, but being able to try dozens of shafts was a real eye opener.

Great experience with my TM MATT fitting - Shawn Perno was a real pro. It did not feel rushed, all in all a very enjoyable process.

I thought some of the parts worked independantly of the others... but I guess not. I have a better idea of how I want to see this up now before my next range session. I also have the tuning app on my phone which should be fun to use. Looks good.
